Anna Maurella Oldofredi d'Iseo

Giovanni Battista Cambio, called Bombarda

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sculpted medallion with a profile bust depiction of a woman. She appears to be of noble standing, with elaborate attire and jewelry. Her hair is styled in intricate curls, and she wears a string of pearls around her neck. The material of the sculpture seems to be metal, indicated by its color and texture, which is a muted bronze or dark silver hue. The circular medallion has a hole near the top, likely for mounting or display purposes. The woman is adorned in a draped garment with detailed folds and textures. Inscribed around the circumference of the medallion are letters that may spell out a name or title.
